Chapter 979: Chapter 961: Sangzhi Is Still Alive! (2)
The avalanche news on the internet has begun spreading rapidly!
Huo Feng, who couldn’t get in touch with his family, was becoming increasingly anxious!
He could no longer sit still!
At this moment, he immediately grabbed his phone, threw on a down jacket, and ran through the hotel hallway while hurriedly hailing a cab!
Luckily, he knew which ski resort they had booked for today...
Because in the viral news online, the full name of the ski resort had not been disclosed.
Even the short video posted by a Douyin user didn’t reveal the name of the ski resort.
Not revealing the name became the only thing that could comfort Huo Feng at this moment.
He desperately hoped that the ski resort where the accident occurred wasn’t the one where Sangzhi and their elders were!
Sitting in the taxi, Huo Feng continuously sent messages to Pu Sangzhi and the elders, but not a single call went through...
During the whole ride, Huo Feng was nearly exploding with anxiety!
His mind was stretched to the breaking point, almost collapsing...
Outside the window, the sky gradually darkened, snowflakes slowly drifted down, and through the car window, a visible chill seemed to gnaw at Huo Feng’s body and mind.
He was so anxious that he hadn’t dressed properly. His down jacket was thrown on hastily, and he was still wearing hotel slippers.
The driver was amazed at his frantic appearance.
...
The taxi stopped at the ski resort entrance, and Huo Feng hurriedly dashed out...
The hotel’s slippers were not sturdy; when he quickened his pace, they couldn’t keep up with his speed and soon slipped off...
Huo Feng couldn’t care less about the slippers.
He simply discarded the bothersome slippers and ran barefoot on the icy, biting snow, gasping in the cold air while sprinting wildly!
This incident seemed to have intensely escalated because a few journalist vehicles were parked outside the ski resort, and a few people were standing near the cars holding cameras!
The unease in Huo Feng’s heart grew more intense by the minute!
His face was pale as a sheet, and his heartbeat was so fast he couldn’t discern its rhythm...
Please, don’t let there be anything wrong...
Please, let nothing happen!
Huo Feng fervently chanted this in his heart!
He even had a sinister thought...
He was thinking, even if the incident happened at this ski resort, please let the 10 victims not be Sangzhi and the elders!
Please...
Please, let it not be them!
"Ah——"
Huo Feng burst into the ski resort like a madman, not even buying a ticket.
Because of this major incident, the ticket seller wasn’t at the window; perhaps they were tangled up with the journalists at this moment.
The ski resort was bustling!
Even though it was freezing, with snowflakes continuously falling and the temperature below zero...
Nothing could dampen people’s avid curiosity amidst the commotion!
Huo Feng dashed around cluelessly, running towards the most crowded area...
During his frantic run, the topic he heard the most was tourists being interviewed by the journalists; everyone was discussing the avalanche.
Huo Feng’s mind was practically about to explode!
A buzzing filled his ears as he stared at the bleak world before him, clothed inadequately, barefoot on the cold, biting snow, dazedly feeling as if his world had collapsed...
It just suddenly collapsed...
Six people came to this city, and in the end, he was the only one standing there...
In this moment, Huo Feng suddenly felt as small as an ant, standing in this vast, elusive world, feeling so powerless, so weak.
Huo Feng numbly dashed into the crowd where the cameras were concentrated!
Like a madman, Huo Feng grabbed a male journalist, vigorously shaking his shoulders, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Have you found out yet? Who has died? Who are the victims? Tell me quickly!"
The male journalist was completely bewildered by his shaking, staring at Huo Feng in terror...
The bunch of journalists and cameramen nearby stared at him in utter astonishment...
"Speak! Who are the victims! Is anyone out there rescuing them? Do you know the victims’ names, speak!"
Huo Feng screamed hysterically, his eyes bloodshot and red with veins!
Nearby, most of the tourists’ attention was drawn by his voice...
The atmosphere froze for half a minute.
The male reporter who he had grabbed earlier hesitantly spoke, "Did you...run to the wrong ski resort? There wasn’t an avalanche here..."
Huo Feng’s sharp brows furrowed suddenly, he gasped, "What?"
"Huo Feng?"
Just at that moment, a female voice Huo Feng was all too familiar with suddenly reached his ears!
He recognized the voice immediately and turned around at once!
When his gaze fell on Pu Sangzhi not far away, Huo Feng’s pupils constricted tightly, as if his heart was fiercely squeezed in that instant before it slowly relaxed...
Sangzhi...
She’s alive!
"Huo Feng, it really is you!"
Previously, Pu Sangzhi had vaguely heard Huo Feng’s voice and doubted whether she had misheard.
But later, hearing Huo Feng as if arguing, she hurriedly followed the voice...
Sure enough, unexpectedly seeing Huo Feng standing in front of this group of reporters, appearing as though he had just finished arguing with them.
Pu Sangzhi was surprised at how he ended up here, only to see Huo Feng striding vigorously, rushing towards her...
At that moment, Pu Sangzhi noticed that he wasn’t even wearing shoes, his feet on the snow were already bright red, the contrast of red and white made her heart ache fiercely!
Pu Sangzhi instantly understood why he was here!
She immediately took steps towards him as well...
The two gradually converged to a point under everyone’s gaze, embracing deeply in the snow!
Pu Wenhua and his wife, along with Huo Mingshan and his wife, arrived slightly behind Pu Sangzhi and just happened to witness the warm scene between the two children.
Even though they had not figured out yet why Huo Feng appeared here suddenly, no one stepped up to disturb them at the moment...
Scattered snowflakes fell onto the two, the cold gathering couldn’t stop the warmth of the moment...
"Ah..."
Huo Feng let out continuous sighs, lowering his head and murmuring with closed eyes, "I was scared to death...thought you all were dead..."
Pu Sangzhi could only gently pat his back, small actions to comfort his frightened heart.
He didn’t need to explain in detail; she could guess what kind of mindset he went through to get here...
Worried and fearful, anxious and urgent...
He didn’t even wear a sweater, didn’t wear shoes, only came wearing thermals and a down jacket.
In such cold weather, he came like this.
He must have been extremely scared...
Pu Sangzhi dared not delay his time, hastily released him, and then held his icy cold hands, rubbing his palms urgently, "Hurry to the lounge first, you’re really reckless!"
Her tone was somewhat reproachful, simultaneously anxious, but she couldn’t blame him.
At this moment, what filled her heart more was emotion.
Huo Feng, this fool...always doing foolish things.
When Huo Feng, barefoot, stepped through the white snow to approach the four elders, they then, retrospectively realized why Huo Feng appeared here!
They quickly led Huo Feng into the warm wooden lounge, giving him a cup of hot tea.
Finally allowing the shivering, freezing Huo Feng some relief...
"Ah...so cold so cold..."
Huo Feng held the hot tea with his hands, greedily absorbing the warmth of the cup, while drinking the hot tea to warm up.
The heating was on in the lounge, although much warmer than outside, frequent visitor movement brought outdoor chill often, making it not overly warm.
Pu Sangzhi hurriedly took off her scarf, wrapping it around his frozen feet...
Seeing his reddened feet, it made Pu Sangzhi’s heart ache terribly, she even blew warm air onto his feet, making Huo Feng feel ticklish, almost kicking her face...
Pu Sangzhi then stopped her silly actions, obediently wrapping his feet with the scarf.
It was only then that the slightly calmed Huo Feng said tremulously, "I saw online reports of a ski resort avalanche, and thought you all were caught in it. None of your calls went through, I was scared to death, thought you all were in trouble, so I quickly took a cab over..."
"Looks like it was a misunderstanding."
Pu Wenhua nodded, his meaningful gaze falling on Huo Feng, "Suddenly a large number of reporters appeared earlier, interviewing about an avalanche, that’s when we learned about the avalanche, but it wasn’t here. You called us but none of us answered, possibly because at that moment, everyone outside was discussing it, too noisy. Our phones were in waterproof bags or inside the down jacket pockets, probably couldn’t hear it."
"It should be a misunderstanding."
Huo Feng nodded apologetically, "Sorry, I was reckless."
"No, you acted out of good intentions. Your behavior wasn’t wrong." It was even commendable!
Though the event happened unexpectedly, Huo Feng’s reaction also surprised Pu Wenhua.
One must admit, seeing Huo Feng rush over in such a state, Pu Wenhua’s heart was shook but also thrilled!
In Huo Feng, Pu Wenhua saw a very rare quality...
At this moment, he felt very satisfied with this child!
